You might just have to take it to a garage. Where do you live?

Not wishing to be funny but given the sh*t you're having have u got a mate who's got some sorta breakdown cover ???

Get them to help u push the car on to the road and get the liks of the AA to come out ;)

Always worth a shot .... and might save you some time, money and stress !!

Okay ive got her started :grin:

Basically by removing all the earth straps & coil, Dizzy, everything out & major clean up then put back in & she kind of stumbled into life:grin:

However very lumpy & overfueling to the max!! I can chug down to the bottom of my drive then it cuts out!!

Im thinking a bad earth has caused my ecu to overfuel & passed fuel into oil via the piston rings (dipstick smells of petrol....). Im going to get oil change & timing looked at next but hopefully light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for everyones thoughts so far, comments welcome.
